DOT can’t do sums
« on: September 28, 2017, 06:56:01 am »
For some reason my Dot can’t do sums.  EG. What is 4 divided by 3.  Or 6 times 6.  All my other devices can but not the dot.

Is there an issue?

Mine is happy to do the calculations you mention. Likely you need to do a recycle by turning it off and on again.

I’ve done a reset and it’s the same. I have 2 dots and 2 Echos. Only the dots are affected.

My Dots are working.  I guess the issue is with your Dots.  Have you called ts?

Yes. I can’t post images here but I asked exactly the same question to my Echo and to my Dot. Echo answers correctly. Dot says “sorry I couldn’t find the answer to your question.” 

It can answer any other question apart from Maths!

Unplug for five minutes or more for a total reset.

Have you tried rebooting your router?

Why would that do anything? The dot can answer all other questions apart from maths ones. Also the Echos connected to the same router are fine.

answering questions and calculating are two different things.  if the dot is too far away or there is some type of interference, it may take too long for the dot to reply giving the message you have been getting.   It is something to try and a possible cause to eliminate.

Rebooted. The same.

The dot says she can’t answer the question immediately. 

Amazon Support calling me this afternoon.

Incidentally I’ve also got the iOS reverb app that that too can’t answer maths questions. Most odd
